PROM DRESS DRIVE FOR ARCADIA
Prom season is coming up in April and this is a wonderful experience for students. Unfortunately, not all students can afford purchase their own dress and accessories.
I am currently taking donations for any gently used prom dresses along with any accessories (shoes, necklaces/earrings, and purses) until FEBRUARY 28TH. If you have anything you would like to donate, please text me: at 602.516.2471 and I can pick it up or you can drop it off at Arcadia.
Please help spread this to anyone who may be interested in helping.
Thank you for helping me make their PROM experience memorable.
- Jennifer Gutierrez

INSTEAD OF TOSSING, MAKE IT TREASURE
UNUSED TO-GO CUTLERY SETS
AHS staff can always use plastic cutlery for lunches. Instead of tossing unused plastic wrapped cutlery sets from your restaurant home delivery/pickup, maybe drop them off in the front office. It's a simple thing, but makes our day oh so happy. :-)

Hot Tip for Junior and Senior Parents
from the College and Career Center
Are you working on your 2022 taxes right about now? Then we have a tip for you. If you have a junior student this year who will be pursuing post-high school education, you will be starting to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in about six months. If you have a current senior, you will likely be renewing your student's FAFSA at that time.
The FAFSA for the 2024-2025 school year (when current juniors will be starting college) will use information and data from your 2022 tax returns - the return you are working on now. As you wrap up your filing this year, keep your supporting documents and copies of filed returns all together and handy. Include other year end statements from 2022 with your materials.
It is too early to fill out the FAFSA for the 2024-2025 school year, but it will simplify the process next fall if you keep these documents together and accessible.

Our PTO sponsored a "Super Dips & Subway Sandwiches for Super Bowl" Luncheon! It was hosted for Teachers, Staff and Administration lunch on February 8th. Our generous AHS community of volunteers donated delicious food, spent time picking up food and drinks, setting up, serving and cleaning up. Our Arcadia Community will take part in a gift card Super Bowl Squares game with donated gift cards! The SUPER dip spread was a great way to "Kick off" the Super Bowl Weekend. It was a huge success and we could not do this without the support from our wonderful Arcadia Community!
Thank you to those that volunteered and/or helped in person:
